Wounded Hearts: A Fortis Security Novel Book 9 Kindle Edition

by Maddie Wade (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 681 ratings
Wow, this book is breathing suspense, I was on edge for the whole book I cried, I laughed, I held my breath, I yelled and I cursed. Fortis operative Drew Preedy had been told he wasn’t good enough all his life, and he’d battled to overcome the odds and create a new life for himself—a life he loves. When someone from his past threatens to destroy that life, Drew knows he needs to fight the odds once more. When he uncovers a secret that tears him to shreds, he will stop at nothing to protect what is his, even if it means dying to protect the woman he loves. Mara always thought she was a normal, average woman. She had a job she loved and friends she adored until she met a man who would change everything. He dragged her down into the depths of despair, surrounding her until she had no way out, and her spirit died more with every breath she took until she was ready to give up hope. Then she met a wounded warrior who showed her what true love was but even he couldn’t stop the evil from dragging her back to hell. Now she has one last chance to escape and she takes it. Accepting the hand of friendship and the future that Drew offers her is a risk, but it’s one she knows she has to take. Drew and Mara must find a way to let go of past hurts if they are to forge a future for themselves. With a dangerous enemy lurking in wait and ready to unleash a plan that could kill millions, they will have to fight harder than ever before if they want to survive long enough to see if their love has a chance.

    This newest addition to the Fortis Security Series is an intense one. We’ve watched Drew kind of grow into a man before our reading eyes. Now we watch him as Mara, the woman who helped him heal physically after losing his leg is in danger. She has been held captive and beaten by her fiancé for the last year and when she sees Drew as one of the extra security at an event in her prison, she hides in his car to escape. Now Drew and the Fortis Team must keep her safe from her ex plus his evil aunt. Drew and Mara discover the feelings started in the therapy sessions and the at the wedding are still there and strong. This book is action packed and full of suspense and some steamy scenes. It is one you don’t want to miss.

    Such a good book. I loved drew and have been waiting for his book for awhile. We have watched him grow and become quite the young man and operator over the series despite devastating blows by his family and the watchers/divine ones. Mara was awesome. Yes she was broken and beaten but she fought to survive and come back and never let her abuser and those who perpetuate the evil of the divine ones win. They were so adorable together. Loved them. They truly complemented and completed one another. Poor smithy, such sacrifice and then to still be willing to put it all in the line to help his friends and family was amazing. Loved the ending. So sweet.

    One more book in this series, not counting the short novella, after this book. This was Drew and Mara's story and drama. The on going Devine Watchers not really gone. But when they rear their ugly head to cause Fortis family again they all go into saving their own and others like its just another day at work. When will it end?

    Book 9 was as good as the other 8. Looking like book 10 will be just as good. Some characters have strange powers. Hard to believe but get use to reading about it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars As always, the Fortis team and their family made this series worth investing your heart into.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2020
    Wounded Hearts is the second to last book in the Fortis Security series by Maddie Wade, which means the storyline is heating up and fast.
    Drew Preedy, the hero, is a character whose growth has been evident throughout the series. Starting out a very naive, sweet, but insecure young man who fought to earn his parents' approval, and turning into a selfless, brave, and caring gentleman.
    As the series progressed, I saw Drew become lost in his own anger and frustration that came from his toxic family; however, overcoming his challenges once again and finding peace in his mind, even after losing his legs in a mission. Despite this setback, he remained a hardworking operative, continuing to fight for others. 
    With his abilities hindered, Drew started his physical therapy, unknowingly meeting his soulmate Mara Kennett, a physiotherapist and our heroine.
    However as quickly as she appeared in his life, she disappeared for a year soon after Drew’s sister’s wedding. While Drew was settled in his life and enjoying his job more than ever, the readers learned that Mara had a fiancé from before meeting  Drew, a monster who she unfortunately fell in love with, a man that ripped everything from her and turned her life for the worst and who she feared but did not love anymore. Fortunately, Mara was able to escape her abusive relationship after Drew unexpectedly dropped into her life while on a job and finally set her free. As soulmates do, Drew and Mara reunited and reconnected, and in the end were given the love they deserved. 
    Alongside the Fortis family, these lovers fought together against the evil Rhea Winslow, a vile woman growing more dangerous and desperate.
    As always, the Fortis team, their spouses, and their kiddos made this series something special and worth investing your heart into. 
    I cannot wait to see what Maddie Wade has in store for the readers in the series finale, but as this series has progressed, I am positive it will be worthwhile.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 31, 2020

    Drew and Mara's story has been eagerly anticipated by all Fortis fans because Drew has a little bit of all our hearts, we expected Maddie to find him a very special love interest and she didn't let us down!

    Mara is a total sweetheart, she's been through so much, suffered greatly and has had to hide a terribly sad secret.
    Drew comes back into her life just in time and although she's almost broken beyond repair she recognises in him an empathy that encourages the healing process to begin.
    Drew's almost back to full fitness after a serious accident left him with a life changing injury, being unexpectedly reunited with Mara is the last cog that was needed to complete his recovery. His affection for Mara and his determination to protect her from further heartache spirals them into an exciting, fast paced adventure in true Fortis style.

    Secrets uncovered, old enemies, new adversaries, plot twists and a firm favourite jumping back into the lions den, Wounded Hearts was a fantastic read and once again Maddie Wade has managed to write a gripping, page turning book.
    Each book in this series captures your imagination and throws you into a world where heroes and heroines are inspirational role models, we all have our personal favourites but the Fortis team as a whole never let us down and Maddie makes sure we are left begging for more.

    I will always recommend Maddie Wade's books and Wounded Hearts is no exception, in fact, The whole Fortis Security Series is one I would highly recommend.

    Wounded Hearts: A Fortis Security Novel Book 9 by Maddie Wade

    Mara and Drew get their story in this the 9th Fortis Security novel. As always in her unmistakable style Maddie Wade gives a sensational, action and emotion packed story. Drew finally gets the chance at his happily ever after with Mara but that is under threat by the man Mara has fled from and a very familiar, dangerous face for all members of Fortis Security. Up against it the team do what they do best and fight to save each other and the whole of mankind. I loved catching up with the rest of the team and the wonderful feeling of family comes through as it always does. An absolute favourite of mine, Fortis Security is a must read series. Highly recommended.
